This friday the 7th of November Kasha is spreading his wings and flying up to the Birmingham NEC where he will be performing his first set on what hopes to be a very epic journey that is “The Oracle Tour”. This is not all however, as Kasha will also be making an appearance on Birmingham's leading multicultural radio station, New style Radio 98.7FM.



So the Oracle Tour kicks off in Birmingham where Kasha will be performing the penultimate set as part of Access to Music's ‘ATOM Stage'. As always Kasha will have a lot to give and there will be more pre release copies of the Oracle going out.



The stage will also be home to many other artists including one of particular prowess called Richard Lianhart. Richard is a talented artist and beatboxer. He became the first ever beatboxer to appear in London's West End and has performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and The Bolshoi Ballet. So definitely worth a look.

Kasha will be on New Style Radio between 5-6PM Friday 7th. You can tune in on 98.7 FM in the Birmingham area or via their live online link here.

It is good to see that even in this economic downturn people are still willing to give to those who need. Last week Kasha had the opportunity to perform at one of POP's events in Leicester Square. Organised by Nausheen Qureshi, the event was a great success which raised several hundred pounds for the organisation. Kasha was proud that some of this money came from the sale of some pre release copies of Kasha's forthcoming album the Oracle. Nausheen and now new patron of POP Kasha hope to work on more projects in the future and aim to open the organisation up to wider audiences.

Keeping it Real on MySpace

MySpace is a funny thing. In a few years it has gone from nothing to the largest music network and one of the largest social networks in the world. There is a lot of controversy over what people think of MySpace. Many people look down on it as some cheap form of promotion or a way to waste your life clicking away. Other people see it as a great networking tool, meeting people, socialising and keeping in touch with friends. Either way you look at it is very hard to ignore the popularity of MySpace.

So it is good or bad?
Two words: free promotion. In the world of the music business any publicity is good publicity and when it comes free it's even better. At the time of writing this there are 150 million profiles on MySpace. So an advert on MySpace could potentially reach 150 million people or 2.5% of the world's population. If every person on MySpace had 10 friends and told them about that advert then that's ¼ of the world. So much for 6 degrees of separation!

Basically summing up; if you are in the music business it is stupid not to have a profile (advert) on MySpace.

Fakers and Haters
I have noticed there are two main types of people on MySpace. There are those that add every person under the sun and there are those that choose what friend they want to add. I am happy to say that Kasha and Vivid Imagery fall into the latter group. We are proud that every friend we add is someone we like and respect and that everyone who adds us is someone who likes what we do. We don't accept requests from people that are on a friend grabbing exercise. This gives us a solid and defined friend base and people checking our page see a collection of likeminded people, a community, and not just the World Phone Book. The trouble with befriending the world is that you end up with a lot of 'friends' instead of friends and only a small proportion of them would have actually checked out your profile because they can tell they have just added you for the sake of getting large numbers.

Most people visit MySpace because they are looking for a specific thing, e.g. a rap artist or some upcoming country music so it is good to keep your profile specific, that way you are easier to find.
